Nowhere is a three-dimensional milling machine that carves a
landscape relief on a 70x70x10cm large block of hard foam. The machine
receives a stream of live search requests from the german search engines
metager and metager2 (www.metager.de) via the internet.
The users search movements erode rivers and canyons on the surface.
Search requests that shoot through the internet just for a fraction of a
second and generate an answer on the searchers screen, cause the
machine to write a constant growing sculpture into the space. The
continuous stream of changing search requests defines form and rhythm of
this process. …reblogged from rhizome
